automap: [*] not supported here. bug?
by Martin Bähr 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

hi, can you explain why: random(allocate(3,9)[*]); or random(({9,9,9})[*]); don't work, while array foo = allocate(3,9); random(foo[*]); does? greetings, martin.

Pike string hashing
by Marcus Agehall (PacketFront) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

I'm a bit curious about the string hashing algorithm used in Pike. What algorithm is it based on and what complexities does it exhibit? Was it selected at random or is there some rationale behind it..?

Re: subversion bindings?

Nope. My router does NAT for the machine in question, but that should not matter for HTTP.

MySQL big_query in 7.7
by Martin Stjernholm, Roxen IS ＠ Pike developers forum 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

I think the new streaming behavior in Sql.mysql.big_query is nice and as it should be, but it's causing too much headaches in existing applications - the old de-facto behavior is too ingrained. So a proposal is to instead do like this: query: Like today - slow and memory consuming. big_query: A variant of query() that still is nonstreaming. I.e. it only avoids the very bulky response format of query(). streaming_query: Like big_query but guaranteed to stream if it exists. It's database dependent whether other queries can be issued while a streaming_query response object exists. It's of course also database dependent if there are locks on the tables in the server while the response object exists. While at it, we could also consider generalizing the big_typed_query interface that the oracle module provides: big_typed_query: Like big_query but doesn't convert everything to strings. Integers and floats are kept that way, Date/timestamps are Calendar objects, there are objects for representing the NULL value for each type. streaming_typed_query: Streaming variant of big_typed_query.

"temp"
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Just so that no one gets confused: The Xenofarm results from the host "temp" are compiled in a Cygwin environment. I will fix the hostname eventually.

cmod-format
by Martin Nilsson (DivX Inc.) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

The recent complete backport of precompile.pike from 7.7 to 7.6 breaks some cmod files, since the API has changed for object|void variables. They are no longer svalues but objects. Was this intentionally? If so, I think it was a bad idea.

Image.JPEG
by M Norrby (rabies), Enea Epact ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Nilsson has fixed the configure stuff for Image.JPEG (in 7.7) so that the transform stuff now is included in the Windows build too. I think it is backported to 7.6. I was wondering if someone with the right permissions could backport it to 7.4 if possible. It would be nice if the next Windows version of Roxen (based on 7.4) had the same Image.JPEG support as the Unix versions.

Pike 7.7, modules -> post_modules
by David Hedbor ＠ Pike developers forum 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

What's up with the pike-requiring modules in the modules directory? Specifically I'm thinking about Gmp, Kerberos, Math and _Regexp_PCRE. All these use cmods and require Pike to be available for compilation. Specifically, if modules now require pike, why have post_modules? More correctly, make it so nothing in modules require pike to compile. If needed, compile a lesser version of pike to bootstrap modules as needed. Gmp and Math might be rather important but why on earth would kerberos and _Regexp_PCRE be in modules and not post_modules?

autodoc

hi, when I change AUTODOC_SRC_IN=*.c to AUTODOC_SRC_IN=*.c module.pmod.in in Makefile.in of a third-party module I get Extracting file "entry.c"... Extracting file "module.pmod.in"... Unknown module parent name. /usr/local/pike/7.7.13/lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Standalone.pmod/extract_autodoc.pike:210: /main()->extract("module.pmod.in",0,"/home/kaugume/hacking/pgtk2/plib/refd oc/",({"predef::"})) /usr/local/pike/7.7.13/lib/modules/Tools.pmod/Standalone.pmod/extract_autodoc.pike:75: /main()->main(24,({"alignment.c","bin.c","box.c","button.c","container.c", "dialog.c","entry.c","fixed.c","gtk2.c","gtk2_glue.c","hbox.c","hseparator .c","label.c","misc.c","module.pmod.in.c","object.c","separator.c",,,4})) make: *** [extract_autodoc] Fehler 1 it's not a problem, with my autodoc comments within my module.pmod.in, because when I copy it to module.pmod.in.c and only extract *.c files everything works fine. - Sebastian
